Author's Note: Hello friends! Let it be known that not everything is what it seems! Yesterday I learned that people actually find me scary and I pouted. Then the headaches set in and my dreams took a bit of a turn. Anyway I'll explain where I got the idea for this at the end but just know, I'M NOT A MONSTER!

-Piper


Rosemary sang, "This irresistible, Paris original I'm wearing tonight!" She turned to see another secretary wearing an exact copy of her dress. No... it was the same dress. "...she's wearing tonight"

She watched as more and more secretaries came in wearing the exact same dress, singing the same hopeful song only to have their dreams crushed. If the men hadn't been present, Rosemary was sure fighting would break out.

She was suddenly torn from her thoughts, not from a noise, no quite the opposite, instead the room fell into hushed whispering.

"It's Ms. Jones!"

"She's smiling? I'm scared!"

"It wasn't me!"

Then she threw off her coat and sang "THIS IRRESISTIBLE PARIS ORIGINAL I'M WEARING TONIGHT!"

The other women seethed but they couldn't touch Ms. Jones. None however seethed so much as Rosemary.

She watched her superior wear the dress. Her peers wear the dress. Her BEST FRIEND wear the dress! (she thought as Smitty danced past)

Rosemary finally snapped when all the men surrounded Hedy La' rue. "WHAT A DRESS"

Deep in the dusty, cobweb covered gears of the young secretary's mind a gear that never should've spun kicked into action.

"That's IT!"

Everyone turned to Rosemary. Of course her dear Ponty hadn't arrived yet. A shame really. If he had, maybe Rosemary would've calmed down. When he did arrive though, she'd be beyond reason.

Casually, The thing that was once Rosemary picked up a knife from the dining table and ran her finger down the edge. A drop of blood fell.

"All I wanted was to be the prettiest girl at the ball" She said in a mangled version of her high musical voice. "was that too much to ask?!"

Sipping her champagne Hedy said "Yes. I'm the only one pretty enough to catch one of these guy's eyes."

To say in the least, Hedy was stupid.

To say in the least.

Rosemary roared and lunged at Hedy with the knife-


Rosemary was on her knees in the middle of it all. "All I wanted..." she said softly" All I wanted..."

J. Pierpont Finch walked in and gasped.

Dead bodies littered the floor. Bloodstained and torn dresses, everywhere.

Rosemary was on her kneed in the middle of it all, cradling a bloody knife in her shaking hands."All I wanted..."

Swallowing his nausea, Finch walked over. "Rosemary?" She looked up. "All I wanted..." Tears rolled down her cheeks her cheeks.

"Oh Rosemary don't cry," Finch said putting an arm around her shoulders "Tell me what happened!"

They were all... wearing... my dress..." She didn't need to say anything else. Finch understood.

Tears still rained down her cheeks. "All I wanted..." She started to laugh as more tears fell.

"All I wanted was to be the belle of the ball! WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!"

Finch tried desperately to calm her down, "It was just a party Rosemary!" He pleaded. "It was just a dress!"

Instantly, the laughter ceased, and J. Pierpont Finch knew he'd made a fatal mistake.

"Just a dress?" Finch used to love the sound of her laughter...

"Just a dress?!" She was crying, but doubled over laughing hysterically.

"JUST A DRESS?!"


Piper: You'd think after writing this all the insanity would be out of my system. But no, I still have the uncontrollable urge to laugh maniacally.

Rosemary: Jeez. And I thought I was insane!

Piper: Like I said, I'm not a monster! I went to a haunted house with my friends and next year if I volunteer this was my idea. If you haven't already guessed I'm a little trigger-happy with the caps lock button but-

Rosemary:(holding up the knife) REVIEW

Piper:Yeah, what she said.
